Tip's place was super clean and nice. In my opinion, nicer than the pictures show. The area directly surrounding the apartment is not as nice, but it's also right near a police station, so I was never concerned about safety. Tip was very helpful and a great host, she showed us around the area and arranged a taxi for us on the way to the airport. The location was pretty convenient for us. It's close enough to the temples / backpacker area (15 min cab ride) and also 10 minute walk to the BTS stop which can take you most other places you want to get to. Overall had an excellent experience.
